PLYMOUTH RECORD.
Volume IX.
OCTOBER, 1897.
No. 6.—Whole No. 46.
PLYMOUTH RECORD.
Published the first Sunday of each
month, except August and September, in
the interest of Plymouth Church (Congregational), Minneapolis, Minn.
It is for free distribution, and takes the
place of the Weekly Calendar on the days
of its publication.
It is edited by a Joint Committee from
the Prudential Committee and Men's Club.
FOR THE WEEK'S APPOINTMENTS SEE PAGE 4.
"Not by might, nor by power."
Read the interesting and moving
Bethel article.
This is Rally Week. Let us make it
most successful, by the help of God.
There is every indication that the
coming A. M. A. Meeting will be a
great success.
To Mr. Beard's foresight, enterprise, enthusiasm, faith, and resistless
energy, the notable Montevideo Week,
under God, was largely due.
The Church has voted to continue
7:45 as the hour ofthe Social Prayer-
meeting for the coming winter, 7:30
seeming too early for those whose
work is late.
Prof. Zeublin's Fortnightly Lectures
(see Calendar) are on timely themes.
Let them be well patronized. Members of our Men's Club will assist with
the Stereopticon Saturday nights.
The afternoon Organ Recitals were
never so well attended. The pressure
for places in the Chorus has compelled,
regretfully, the refusal of a considerable number of applicants. These
are indications how strong a hold
the musical work of this Church is
getting on the public mind.
The State Association at Montevideo held perhaps its most notable
meeting thus far. The spirit of giving
was poured out. A new day for
Christian Education is dawning. Our
Miss Griffith, the new Preceptress at
Windom, is winning golden opinions.
Religious Census.
It aims to cover the entire city. It
is non-sectarian, Catholics and Protestants of mam' denominations joining in it. Oct. 16 is the date. Rally
Meetings in its interest are held widely
o ver the city this week. (See Calendar.)
The city is divided into many districts, each with an efficient person in
charge, and, under such oversight, the
Census Takers go, two and two,
throughout the respective districts.
Certain simple questions are answered, filling out a card for each person
or family, and a courteous invitation
to attend the Church of one's preference is extended. When the cards are
all in, they will be classified, and assigned to the various Churches for
further detailed helpfulness. Volunteers are wanted for the 16th. When
the cards are in, our Church must follow up its part of the personal work.
The Common Problem.
The common problem, yours, mine, everyone's,
Is not to fancy what were fair in life,
Provided it could be — but finding first
What may be, then find how to make it
fair
Up to our means.
Robert Browning.
New Plans for the Bethel.
Those who are responsible for our
Bethel work have long felt the need of
some one who should personally superintend all the various lines of work
carried on there in a manner impossible for volunteer workers. We be-
